Guidelines for irrigation canal control, vol 1: user manual

Abstract

The manual presents the detailed background to the guidelines. It describes the principal causes of water loss and inefficient water use in irrigation distribution systems, and suggests measures which can be adopted to reduce such losses and improve performance through better canal control. The methodology consists of a series of steps which seek to define the existing environment, conditions and constraints under which a scheme operates, and to identify measures to improve canal control and hence water use efficiency.
